Re: Is this Weldable ???
The problem with carrying to a welding shop is they are going to charge you an arm and a leg. Many have minimum fees. We have a guy here that won't charge less than $200 for any project, which he says is due to the time it takes to set everything up, prep and weld it. I can understand that from a business standpoint. What you need is a friend to do it for you. Now, with all that said, you can use a torch or map gas and braze it. Do a google search and tons of info will pop up. You can get rods with flux online. You can buy the brazing rods at tractor supply that don't have the flux. It's harder to do without it. I've done quite a bit of it on aluminum boats and it is very strong. Usually you can bend it in a circle before it breaks. You don't want to use an acetylene torch due to it getting too hot. Alluminum will just fall out when it's too hot which is why a propane or MAP torch is preferred. MAP comes in a yellow bottle.
